It never ceases to amaze me how many people think that wherever they go, the temperature should be set to their own personal liking. And God forbid it should be off a degree or two!
When I worked at a corporate restaurant, which was just a big box of a building, people would complain that it was too hot or too cold, regardless of the season. It could be 90 degrees outside, and someone will complain that it is too cold inside. Okay, as soon as you hit the door and go back out, you’re gonna complain about the heat. But……while your inside, you’re freezing. Look around!!!! It’s not like everyone in the place is sitting there shivering from the cold! Carry a sweater with you! Why should the rest of the world have to put up with your selfish demands? The minute we adjust the thermostat, others will complain it’s too hot.
The opposite is also true….”It’s too hot in here!” Again, look around…..no one else is sitting there counting the sweat droplets that fall off of their foreheads. Why don’t you try being a little thankful that it’s not 20 degrees and snowing!
Where I currently work, each room has it’s own thermostat, and that’s not good enough either. At one function, where there was about 35 people, within a ten minute span we heard, “My sister is cold, can you turn down the air?” Guess what?!? I don’t know who your sister is, and I don’t really care. Then they told another server, “It’s too hot in here, turn the air up.” Okay, so which way do we go? OH! And they never tell the same person twice….some of them wander around the restaurant until they find another server, who has nothing to do with their party, and complain about the temperature. When we servers compare notes, we find out several people have complained, too hot, too cold, too hot , too cold……..why do people think that everywhere they go, the temperature should be set to their own personal specifications? Because again, they are selfish and don’t give a thought to anyone else.
A suggestion….stay home, set the temperature to your liking, and don’t leave the house.
My solution for the too hot, too cold debate…..I walk over to the thermostat, reach my hand towards it, and pretend to adjust the temperature. Usually works. It’s amazing what works, when people THINK they are getting their own way. LOL!
